Religion to become extinct
 

A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion faces extinction.

Goodbye God.:xyxwave:

can't say that that's a bad thing at all. We have to fill out our census on Sunday and I think I'll put agnostic on the religion part

Put no religion. What part are you not sure about?

Until the next Gospel Bible is written......

Well, I have no idea where we came from or if there is a higher power somewhere or not, I think it's unlikely but none of us can say for sure either way, so that makes me agnostic.

When religion dies Christ will return.

but you could say that about any manner of mythical creatures, fairies, santa etc. You know that supernaturality does not exist and you know that no one has ever seen heard from, spoken to a god so why suspend you belief and say "oh well I dont know on this specific god?"

If there was no religion someone would just come up with another way of controlling the masses.

Yes

all those you named are man made though, I know God is too but I mean we are here and our planet and life in general started some where, and none of us know how or why.

That is so true!

We do know how our planet, solar system and universe happened?

yeah I know that, but if you keep going further and further, Like the Bang Bang theory for example, that's fair enough but where did the the things that banged come from etc etc

Asking that is perhaps the wrong question, first you have to understand the science of what we have but there is no mystery to the universe. It is just our measurements are of no use (ie years, size and so forth).

All, that space stuff goes right over my head tbf I suppose saying I'm agnostic is just a way of me saying I don't have a clue How, where or why we're here/came from and I know I never will.

That is not agnostioc, that is just being a bit bonkers:dance:

lmao, ok should I put a bit bonkers down on the census form then?:laugh:

Ah well. We can hope.

Gods been okay to us really over the last few thousand years. A bit of loyalty for the old bloke wouldnt go amiss. I would hate to see the old fellow have to sign on and claim jobseeker allowance.

The Irish cenus form asks for religion, not belief. I believe in something greater to the cosmos too Niamh but I would reccomend just ticking 'No Religion'.

If you tick anything else they'll just use the numbers to justify pumping money we don't have into religous matters because they will be seen as important.

yeah, I haven't even looked through the form properly yet to see what options are there anyway, but I will probably just do that I think because whatever it is I believe it certainly isn't any form of organized religion.

I hope so, I think society functions better without religion.

Well it didn't in communist Russia.

yeah, secularism was Communist Russia's problem.

Religion wasn't exactly the U.S.S.R's main problem. D;
